Let me know what one is your favorite!

A winner and a felting challenge!

Mary was the lucky winner of the giveaway - I will be sending your fabric glue shortly!

Now for the Felting Challenge!!!  I don't believe you should ever stop learning new crafts, so I have entered a felting challenge over at - My life under the bus - The premise of the challenge is to make something based on the Felt Wee Folk book by Salley Mavor.  It does include felting, but I am not familiar with making the adorable fairies and dolls.  I have an idea in my head and I hope it translates well!  I will post pictures once the challenge is finished.

This inspired me to do a Felting Challenge of my own.  No previous felting experience needed - I will even provide the materials!!!  I have been tossing around the idea of a felting kit in my head and I have decided on the little felted sheep. 

They are so fun to make and easy for beginners.

Here is how it works:

1.  I have opened this up to 20 entries, so you must be become a follower on this blog or have commented leave a comment on my Farm blog if you would like to participate.  If you have always wanted to try needle felting - here is your opportunity!

2.  Leave a comment saying that you would like to participate.  I will contact you and find out where to send your felting kit. 
 

 

Here is what you will get!  A piece of felting foam, 2 felting needles, 2 colors of Jacob wool, 2 beads for eyes, yarn, and instructions. All you need is a little bit of glue.

3.  Send me a picture of your completed item - everyone will be starting with the same project, but they will be judged on creativity.  You can photograph your sheep with a prop or at a fun location, add an accessory, turn it into something else - a hanging ornament, a mobile, etc., let your imagination go wild!!!

4.  The contest will end February 5th at noon - please have your picture to me by then.

5.  I will post the pictures on both of my blogs on the 6th and they will be judged by the people :)  I will close judging on Sunday, the 10th at noon and announce the winner.

6.  The winner will recieve one of my Fabric and Felt totes with colorful wool inside!

Good Luck!
